My favs:

The Dune miniseries
Road Warrior
Planet of the Apes
Forbidden Planet
The Day The Earth Stood Still (original)
Blade Runner
Total Recall
Moon
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original)
Serenity
Star Trek - The Wrath of Khan
Alien and Aliens
and of course, Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back (the Return of the Jedi jumped the shark with the Ewoks, imo)

Forbidden Planet is the movie by which all other movies should be judged.

Barbarella

yes the unedited version.
Hanoi Jane was a hottie then.

 

[Grace]

Moon was excellent. Thanks for that reminder as well.

The original black & white version of The Thing (from another world), with James Arness, released in 1951. I believe that movie remains the most realistically convincing bit of space visitor sci-fi I've ever seen.

The current version doesn't begin to compare with it in any way.

 

[Grace]

Beyond ThunderDome. Loved that one.

A lot of my faves have been mentioned, except "Westworld".

"Minority Report" is the best thing Speilberg has ever done, after "Schindler's List".

Yes - better than "E.T. - The Extraterrestrial".

 

[Grace]

Oh..oh...Schindlers List is awesome. Maybe I need to go on down the line of Best Drama, Best Historical, Best Foreign, Best Action, etc etc etc.

Slumdog Millionaire was great too. But which category would it fall under? Foreign? Drama?

Will Wheaton used to post on a board I was member of many moons ago. He was pretty much someone I avoided. Not very nice dude.

As to the question of the Op... hard question. I have to think about it.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Blade Runner

Of course, it couldn't hold a candle to the original novel. Few movies ever do.

Absolutely visionary. The special effects, story, acting and concepts hold up even to this day. Rare is the movie that can do that. Watch the making of 4 hour movie called "Dangerous Days". Incredible.
